Here’s my eligibility (a couple of stories still to come in Nov and Dec). If you only have time to read one story, the one I’m most hoping people will keep in mind is “Through the Machine.” Thanks. 🙂

This is, I suppose, the one award-worthy thing I have for your consideration this year. A mystical, grief-laden, yet imminently hopeful poem in collage form
Aw thanks for asking! I've spent the past few years turning to collaging in times of overwhelming grief or fear or pain, when I couldn't form words of my own. I didn't realize they might speak to others, too -- so I was really excited when Worlds of Possibility published "After" as a collage poem ✨

And now, time for char-boo-terie (I know charcuterie is traditionally just for meat, but I’m using it in the modern American sense of a board full of random little things, and especially, the cheddar ghostie)
